Squares and rectangles

It does help a bit, but most stuff I watch on my TV with ads (Hulu, YouTube, and YouTube TV) don't work unless the ads are unblocked as well :⁠'⁠(

Maybe Drew should host a gathering every once in a while!

I really wish they weren't so anxious and endangered and could just be pets. They're so cool, sweet, and I'd never have to worry about ants and termites in my warm sandy climate!

I think they're referring to a big ol dose of ecstacy

Not if you punch with the velocity if a mantis shrimp

You could argue "adultery" in a more general sense (or maybe in the original context outside of English, I'm not sure) could contain the modern definition as well as the general idea of "being with someone who is not your spouse".

XDG_SESSION_THEME=KDE got my hyprland config to work on everything except the cursor (other than in Firefox/steam for some reason). Took me way too long to find the old reddit post that had this tip, so I hope it helps!

I would look at OpenSUSE and try whichever flavor meets your needs. It's more niche than Ubuntu but on vanilla installation is easily as user-friendly. The only downside is that if you start messing with stuff, tutorials are not written with SUSE/zypper in mind as often.

I've been running Tumbleweed with Nvidia drivers for about 6 months and have had basically no issues. Switch between X11Plasma/KDE when I just need something direct, and Wayland/Hyprland when I want to mess about and I've not had to blow everything away yet.

Ford and Hyundai have tried to bring service to that market with the Maverick and Santa Cruz, respectively. My folks have one and love it, but I've found most people still complain because they "don't need that big if a truck" but then you mention towing/hauling capacity and they say "well why can't it just tow something small like an F150 does? I'm not trying to get a dually but if I didn't want to do X then I'd just get a car!" I suspect most people's "truck needs" would be accommodated but fomo and marketing leads buyers astray even when they already know what they want. Or they're fickle and just need something to complain about.

That's fair, there is more info and suffering font sizes. I usually minimize the disk use window myself.

 

Looking to build my first server out, trying to figure out if there is a "better" platform for my needs. Right now I'm just planning a mix of machines and containers in Proxmox for running a NAS and Plex server, router of some sort (also, any preferences on wireless access points?), a pihole if that's not just as easily done in whatever router OS I decide on, VPN, and 3-5 various machines/containers going in and out of service as I find what my needs else I want to play with and host continuously..

Basically just looking for bang for the buck CPU/chipsets people are getting for this use case. Any advantages of AMD vs Intel in mid-consumer level options? Is getting something similar with more efficiency cores worth worrying about in a hypervisor use case?

Ikki68 Camp and Megalodon DOIO Macropad with lubed Banana Milk switches. I'm not a lefty but support moving numpads and nav clusters away from the mouse. Took about 2 weeks to get used to it, and I keep a numpads layer in the Ikki for when I take it away from my main setup.
